Sex Testimony About Principal Disputed

February 25, 1987

Defense lawyers for former Kelvyn Park High School principal James Moffat asked Tuesday that the testimony of five students who contend they had sex with Moffat be stricken from the court record because it included ``incredible allegations.`` In a nine-page motion filed with Cook County Criminal Court Judge Francis Mahon, defense attorney Lawrence O`Gara charged that the dates of the events described by the five students do not correspond to dates listed in the indictment and are uncorroborated by medical or physical evidence. Mahon said he will rule on the motion Friday. Moffat, once the second most powerful official in the Chicago public school system, is charged in a 35-count indictment with numerous counts of official misconduct and taking indecent liberties with children.
